A giveaway

***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Thank you so much for all your comments. Some of them were so funny! :) ***

In the words of Red Hot Chili Peppers: Give it away, give it away, give it away now!

I'm very excited to write this post. It's the first of many giveaways this year. In celebration of Valentines Day, I'm giving away 5 FQ's of my favorite reds and 5 FQ's of my favorite pinks. That's 2.5 yds of fabulous fabric.

Here's how this lovely stash builder can be yours. Leave a comment about what you like (or dislike) about Valentine's Day. If you decide to become a follower, leave a 2nd comment. If you're already a follower, let me know and it counts as 3 entries! :) International folks are always welcome!

All of the fabrics are wonderful for Valentine's Day...love them! I agree with Rebecca - the best part of the Day is the chocolate! It is like on Valentine's Day - chocolate has no calories.lgrimes3@comcast.net (MimiLee2)

I hate Vday. I love my hubby but it is silly that we have a day where we feel like we must have a date, must get eachother something, must "prove" we love eachother. Why don't we just do that all year long? Silly silly... it isn't even a real holidy, Hallmark just sponsors it :)

i usually really like valentine's day, although i can't say that we've ever really had a great one. it seems like something always goes wrong! this year, we'll probably just be snuggled up at home with our new baby. :)

Can I be indifferent? Every day of the year is the time to eat chocolate and my hubby and I aren't much of a Hallmark kind of couple, so I can take it or leave it. This year I like it because I'll be attending a sewing class that night :)

I love your fabric choices Jen! Thanks for the giveaway! I like V Day because as parents of four little ones, we need the excuse to get out. We don't do gifts or chocolate (though I wish he would on the chocolate!). But, this year he is working that night. So, I am hanging with a girlfriend! Cheers!

My fave part of Vday is the sweetest dinner my husband and daughter make for me! They wear aprons, deck the dining room like a restaurant and spoil me with wine, appitizers and a "gourmet" fancy dinner! It's my favorite part of the year- they are too darn cute!!

What i dislike? hmm.. once i mentioned that flowers make me sad because eventually they die to my husband, now i dont get flowers any more. I always get sad on valentines day because more than anything i want some flowers!! (i even tell him that, but he doesnt want me sad later)

I am a little ambivalent about Valentine's Day - I love my husband every day - not just February 14th. I like celebrating our anniversaried (marriage and first date) much better. I'm not a V-day hater, though - so those gorgeous fabrics would be perfect for me :-)

Great fabrics! My stash is pretty light on reds and pinks... I always thought Valentine's Day was just a Hallmark holiday, but then a friend of mine declared his love for me on Valentine's Day and we were married about 2 years later. So, now I love it :) Thanks!

I am not a v-day hater, but lots of the cutesy stuff you see around pinterest is pretty ugly to me! But I am a single girl so maybe I have a negative view! I do love some of the funny cards they bring out.

Pretty fabrics. I am glad to have found your blog. I love getting to know other bloggers. I am not wild about Valentines Day and the emphasis on Romantic Love. But I love my kids and enjoy spoiling them!

Oooh, those are some very luscious fabrics! Welllll... Valentines day, for me, has never been about romantic love. Not that it can't include romantic love! But for me, Valentines represents love in all forms- love of family, love of life, love of nature. What I like about Valentines day is that it reminds us to love something, anything, wholeheartedly. What I DISLIKE about Valentines is that I do NOT receive nearly as much chocolate as I would like!

Those prints are so pretty! Thanks for sharing! What I love best about Valentine's Day are the valentines. I still give them to all my friends, but I try to make them by hand now. Still a kid at heart! :-)

not a fan of valentines day...dont like that it singles anyone out...or makes them feel left out. it is fun to celebrate and make my kids feel special though. your have selected a very sweet stash bundle! thanks for a chance.

Wow, love those pinks and reds! I've never been a huge Valentine's Day fan, but now that my daughter is 5, and she is so excited, it is pretty fun. She's making handmade cards for everyone in her class! Thanks for the chance to win.

I love all the fabrics you chose...I'm a RED lover! What I like about Valentine's Day is corresponding with friends...my gift to them is a nice newsy snail mail letter decorated with hearts all over that they receive in their mailbox close to Valentine's Day! Thanks for the giveaway.

Hi.. I am a first time visitor for this site. For me Valentines Day is very special as we have a defined occasion to re-look at our love.. a time to celebrate our love and make it even more memorable than each day that we share together.

Valentines day is also a time to gift what my special lady wants.. And also about excitement of getting something back ribboned with love. For many it might seem a simple task of going to a shop and buying what we need. But for us, it is more than that.. We try to give a personal touch to whatever we gift...

Let me give some examples... In one of the past Valentines Day, we made a treasure hunt.. each gift we find out at home, will have clue to the location of the next gift... Another occasion, we thought of getting gifts which has some link(or remembrance) of our loved ones in the family... Sometimes, it were a compilation of old songs that she loves listening, recorded on a single DVD... sometimes, it were a compilation of photos of us together at different locations we visited after we met...

This time, its going to be different... I wish to win a gift for her.. and I am trying to give my best in several contests running on the occasion of Valentines Day.. If I win here, I am sure, she is going to love the fabrics you have on offer!! Fingers crossed!! (genius.gene@gmail.com)

Wonderful bundle Jenn!! All the fabrics are really cute.Well, I don't like too much Valentine's day, because is a commercial day (it makes sense?), just for spend money.Everyday you've to show your love for your husband/wife not just one day.thanks for the giveaway. Fingers crossed :)

My first comment seems to have disappeared, so I'll try again. I agree with Elena, Valentine's Day seems to be a commercial exploitation of love, designed to guilt us into opening our wallets. You can show your love (for your significant other or chocolate) any day of the year!

What beautiful fabric! I dislike Valentine's Day because the prices of things goes way up and you're expected to just fork over the money for it. Hubby and I have decided that it's just another day and we can give each other gifts and go out to dinner on any other day that we choose (and save a bunch of money). :)

What a lovely giveaway - so generous! What is strange about Valentine's day, is that it is kind of being forced on us here in Europe... we don't have it, but in the media, the shops and in the name of globalization it seems we can't avoid it - so now we have a Valentines day?! So odd... not a bad thing for those out there, for who it is a lovely traditon, but most odd to the rest of us...

I love getting to decorate the house with red and white hearts, it's a big pick-up after having to take down the Christmas decorations and having to face the winter weather. Thank you for such a lovely giveaway.

Hubby and I actually don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but we have just had both of our birthdays in November, Christmas in December, and our anniversary in January so we just need a break come February! I do have to do things for the kids though!

My friends and I have a fake 5k every Valentines Day called the Grumble Run - where we walk/run/grumble around town for about 5k. Then in the evenings we have a pro-anti-valentine's day party. It is a fun way to make the day memorable and not necessarily about couples.

Those are such lovely fabrics - I love the reds!Valentine doesn't mean anything to me - I spend the day remembering my mother, who passed away on the 14th. Also Valentine's Day is a fairly new 'tradition' here in Denmark - I guess I'm a bit too old for new tricks;-)
